The 8 vintage pink glass ornaments have flocked white snow caps with hangers attached. The box says The Christmas Gallery, Copyright 1967 by Krain & Canton, Inc. Made in USA. (The box is pre-barcode... sweet!) We found them at the thrift store several years ago; so glad to give them a new home.

Most of my needlepoint ornaments have a common theme: snowmen.

There is a bird ornament...

and a cat ornament, too.

Someday, I would like to build from Vicky De Angelis' inspiration of having a cat-themed tree. I already have some cat canvases. Here are four just ready to go onto stretcher bars.

Plus, I have a Kitty Cat tree skirt, too. Really, it is an apron but I like to use it as a tree skirt.

Sounds like the purr-fect project for 2012. Think I will check out my stash for threads.

I like kitties, too. Don't feel bad about the tree being up. I haven't put away a thing. I love having it out and am not the least bit motivated to put it away. Maybe this weekend?Have a great day. Stephanie

Hi Karen. Good to hear from you. This Amanda Lawford canvas of the cats decorating the tree suits my house right fine. Working from bottom to top we have Rayo, Tiger, Bailey and Lana. Can't wait to stitch this one!

Your ornaments are gorgeous!! what a great idea to do a themed tree with them. My ornaments had gotten "lost" on my big tree, and I went ahead and distributed them to my sons. Actually, they took turns and chose their favorites from Picasa online. It was fun to see which ones they chose, and I love that I passed them along for them to have for the grandkids' to remember. But, I have to admit, I do miss them!

love your posts!!! I am heading to Zihuatanejo, Mexico, where Amy and Kelly had their virtual vacation several years ago!!

Yeah!

This cat is jumping for joy because Robin King is a regular contributor to Needlepoint Study Hall. (canvas by Melissa Shirley)
